Mente Clara and The Parks Project at the Sahara Lounge Austin (jazz)
There IS a jazz scene in Austin. We had to drive east, far east Austin. We found a small slice of what some would call "the old Austin" in a funky but fun dive bar with an African theme, The Sahara Lounge.

Mente Clara, and The Parks Project played. Both groups are composed of some of the same people.
